The Equity of Jazz | Chris Washburne | TEDxColumbiaUniversity

The Equity of Jazz. Jazz offers much more than an aesthetic experience, which holds great value in itself, but offers strategies for addressing and solving some of the world’s most pressing problems. Musician and scholar Chris Washburne, along with his band, explores how the improvisational practices of jazz performance provide a model for nourishing equity and excellence in both musical and non-musical settings. Chris Washburne is Professor of Music at Columbia University, Chair of the Music Department, and the Founder and of Columbia’s Louis Armstrong Jazz Performance Program. Chris Washburne has published numerous articles on jazz, Latin jazz, salsa, and popular music. His books include Bad Music: the Music We Love to Hate (Routledge, 2004), Sounding Salsa: Performing Latin Music in New York (Temple University Press, 2008), and Latin Jazz: the Other Jazz (Oxford University Press, 2020). As a trombonist has performed on over 150 recordings, two Grammy winners and seven Grammy nominated. He has been hailed as "One of the best trombonists in New York..." by Peter Watrous of The New York Times and “one of the most important trombonists performing today” by Brad Walseth of www.jazzchicago.net.
